<h1>Footnotes</h1>
<h3><a name="FOOT1" href="gettext_1.html#DOCF1">(1)</a></h3>
<p>In this manual, all mentions of Emacs
refers to either GNU Emacs or to XEmacs, which people sometimes call FSF
Emacs and Lucid Emacs, respectively.
</p><h3><a name="FOOT2" href="gettext_3.html#DOCF2">(2)</a></h3>
<p>This
limitation is not imposed by GNU <code>gettext</code>, but is for compatibility
with the <code>msgfmt</code> implementation on Solaris.
</p><h3><a name="FOOT3" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF3">(3)</a></h3>
<p>Some
system, e.g. mingw, don't have <code>LC_MESSAGES</code>.  Here we use a more or
less arbitrary value for it, namely 1729, the smallest positive integer
which can be represented in two different ways as the sum of two cubes.
</p><h3><a name="FOOT4" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF4">(4)</a></h3>
<p>When the system does not support <code>setlocale</code> its behavior
in setting the locale values is simulated by looking at the environment
variables.
</p><h3><a name="FOOT5" href="gettext_11.html#DOCF5">(5)</a></h3>
<p>Additions are welcome.  Send appropriate information to
<a href="mailto:bug-gettext@gnu.org">bug-gettext@gnu.org</a> and <a href="mailto:bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org">bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org</a>.
The Unicode CLDR Project (<a href="http://cldr.unicode.org">http://cldr.unicode.org</a>) provides a
comprehensive set of plural forms in a different format.  The
<code>msginit</code> program has preliminary support for the format so you can
use it as a baseline (see section <a href="gettext_6.html#SEC45">Invoking the <code>msginit</code> Program</a>).
</p><h3><a name="FOOT6" href="gettext_13.html#DOCF6">(6)</a></h3>
<p>you can also use it through the
&lsquo;<samp>MSGMERGE_OPTIONS</samp>&rsquo; option from &lsquo;<tt>Makevars</tt>&rsquo;
</p><h3><a name="FOOT7" href="gettext_16.html#DOCF7">(7)</a></h3>
<p>Note that the file name matching is done after
removing any <code>.in</code> suffix from the input file name.  Thus the
<code>pattern</code> attribute must not include a pattern matching <code>.in</code>.
For example, if the input file name is &lsquo;<tt>foo.msg.in</tt>&rsquo;, the pattern
should be either <code>*.msg</code> or just <code>*</code>, rather than
<code>*.in</code>.
